I'll review this (participating in the WikiCup). ceranthor 18:52, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking at this one Ceranthor. Let me know if I can help or explain anything. For disclosure, I am also participating in the Wiki Cup. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 19:09, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

[edit]
Lead
Tournament summary
Coverage
  • "Worldwide, the event was covered by China Central Television and Superstars Online in China, and Sky Sports in New Zealand.[42]" - don't need the comma after "China"
  • Rest of the article looks fine.

References

[edit]
  • Given my lack of familiarity with most the sources (exceptions ie. BBC), I want to go through and make sure the snooker-specific sites are all reliable per WP:RS:
  • What makes WorldSnooker reliable?
  • What makes SnookerHQ reliable?
  • What makes Eurosport reliable?
    • EuroSport is the secondary broadcaster for the event. Clearly has an editorial role. It's also listed at WP:SNOOKER Century break needs updating. Any updates should observe the consensus at WT:SNOOKER#RfC: Does the use of self-published sources in snooker articles violate BLPSPS and SPS? and avoid using self-published sources since they have many inconsistencies. Suitable WP:SOURCES include dedicated magazines/journals with editorial oversight such as Snooker Scene, mainstream news and sport outlets (such as BBC News or Eurosport) and the professional governing body, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, and its commercial arm, World Snooker.

  • What makes Dailystar.co.uk. reliable? (Also the ALLCAPS is not necessary, and should be consistent with the other sources)
  • What makes SkySports reliable?
  • What makes sportinglife.com. reliable?
  • What makes Express.co.uk reliable?
  • Why is BBC sport only linked in some refs and not others? Be consistent.
  • In ref 28, you shouldn't use sport, Guardian as the author. Also, "the" in "the Guardian" should be capitalized.
  • Ref 35 shouldn't list the work as the author.

Images

[edit]
  • Sure. None of these images are mine, but I can easily swap out the images on Commons for other ones. This one has been up for some time, so I can't see too much of an issue. However, I'm happy to change. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 15:18, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, the prose is well-written, but jargon-y at bits. The refs have me a teensy bit concerned for reliability, but hoping you can explain what makes a bunch of these sources reliable per WP:RS. ceranthor 15:07, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, this doesn't seem too bad too me. Shouldn't take too long to fix. I'll comment on each individual piece. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 15:18, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ceranthor I've made the above changes. Let me know if anything else needs to be done. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 16:11, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Lee Vilenski: Great, will take a look ASAP. ceranthor 16:23, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
